Sweet thread. I love the camera mount in the last picture. Are those reps still for sale?

007MCoupe · 03-23-2011, 07:46 AM

come on i know there's more people wiht reps than this!!!

apexstrafer · 03-23-2011, 04:02 PM

Couple of old pics. Reflectors are gone now.

Specs are 18x9.5 ET 22 rear, 18x8.5 ET 40 front.

RunZMC · 04-02-2011, 01:50 PM

A big thanks to the guys at EAS, they worked with me on a custom color ("Sunken Treasure Gold"), even sending pics along the way to make sure it was the color I wanted ... very awesome service!

19x9.5 et33 front (concave fronts

)| 19x10 et25 rear | 245/275 Hanook V12 | B&G Sport Springs (1.1 in. drop) | Zero Rubbing

Typical Seattle weather, but some quick pics ... I wanted CSL's but also something different, the color changes based on angle/lighting which is cool, going from bronze/gold to very dark (almost black) at low lights, kind of neat:

r4gs · 04-02-2011, 02:38 PM

^tt looks amazing! more pics please!

007MCoupe · 04-04-2011, 09:12 AM

HOLY CRAP!!! Those are some sexy rims!!! I wonder what that would look like on IB! GREAT wheels man! thanks for sharing!

RunZMC · 04-04-2011, 11:41 AM

Thanks for the positive feedback, I was really nervous trying this color combo out ... luckily I'm really happy with it.

I drove it around this weekend to try it out before dropping it back in to get adjusted to my liking (plus an alignment). Better pictures coming that show the concave fronts/stance/color etc later this week

19x8.5 et40 245/35/19 dz101
19x10 et25 275/30/19 dz101

as good as they look, I could never go back to them after having my morrs. There is a substantially noticeable difference in handling. bumps in the road are less harsh, steering is more responsive, and the acceleration is quicker(track tested). This was all w/ the same tires.

Are the Morr's lighter than VB3s?? What gives for the better ride and quicker acceleration? Also, how did you measure the accel and vs what wheel?

Sorry to repost this again... but can anyone confirm what make these replicas are, thanks in advance to anyone who can help...

Duck360198 · 06-24-2011, 08:09 PM

^^^^^^ That really is quite a striking color combination. VERY well done. Not sure if it could be pulled off that nicely on other exterior colors. Hmmmm....

oo7ml · 06-25-2011, 04:37 AM

Could anyone at all even have a guess...

r4gs · 06-25-2011, 05:32 AM

^my guess is vmr vb3's in tt custom color since eas stocks vmr wheels as well. the other csl rep tt's an almost exact replica are the alufelgen cs7s.

oo7ml · 06-25-2011, 08:13 AM

Ok cool, so which make are known to be closest to the real thing... and sorry but my understanding is that the 19" will fit a 3.0si

epbrown · 06-25-2011, 10:12 AM

I know you're focusing on Z4s with CSL replicas, but has anyone seen a shot of these on the Z3 coupe? I'm considering the VMR VB3s in silver and I can't find pictures anywhere, even EAS' web site.

RunZMC · 06-25-2011, 11:33 AM

Sorry guys, in the middle of relocating, but I bring answers:

- Yes VB3's (9.5 front/10 rear) with a custom color
- And #2, I actually had this image tagged, hope this helps!

epbrown · 06-25-2011, 01:57 PM

Thanks, very nice - it's even the same color and tinted like mine!
